One of the most interesting or funniest ideas of the week is TwitFitter, a place for fitness enthusiasts and fitness professionals to motivate each other to work out, stay healthy, and get fitter.

Have you got any experience with it?

Anyway, nowadays Twitter is really on fire. I started to use Tweetdeck to track my twits and I just found a post on How to got to web 2.0 mentioning two practical examples why Twitter can be useful for medical professionals.

A colleague here at the hospital told me about this one. What is happening here is a Doctor in South Africa is at bedside asking a Doctor in India for real time assistance with a diagnosis. From other correspondence he has with this doctor in India, it is clear that he knows him personally and/or professionally, so he is a trusted source from the requestor’s position.

Seems like a normal ning.com community. It really doesn’t excite me, what did you find interesting in it?

I just started using TwitFitter. Seems like yet another website where people are motivating each other etc and another place to keep track of updates. It’s always great to be around others who are into the fit and healthy lifestyle but I think Twitfitter has a way to go. The user experience is not the best I’ve seen. It was not too clear on how to do things and I was never quite sure where I was on the site.

I will stick with it and see if there is any real value there.

What is your experience?

Best always
Lisa
